WTO/99

In late 1999, the still nascent World Trade Organization convened in Seattle, Washington for what was supposed to be a routine meeting of members to negotiate international trade regulations. Instead, they were met with one of the largest U.S. protests in the 20th century. Drawing upon an immense archive of footage from newscaster broadcasts, home videos, press conferences, and citizen journalists, WTO/99 crafts an all-archival narrative connecting this moment with the ever-present hold of corporatism and capitalism today.

True/False volunteers are eligible for free admission to screenings of WTO/99. Free admission will be provided at the Ragtag Box Office only with T/F volunteer passes. Free admission is eligible for same-day screenings. T/F volunteers are unable to reserve a free ticket in advance.
